GPA's TV boycott set to continue

Dessie Farrell has said Gaelic Players' Association (GPA) will continue to protest until the GAA formally recognises the players' body.
The players' union is set to boycott interviews with TV broadcasters following the Leinster football and Munster hurling finals in a stand against the GAA's apparent lack of support.
The main stumbling block is the association's refusal to accept the GPA's demand for 5% of the GAA's commercial income from gate receipts, TV revenue and sponsorship.
GPA chief executive Farrell says their stance comes due to frustration amongst their membership.
